This environmental project started around an idea of detoxifying or possibly converting pollution using E. coli. From our studies and using departmental resources, we resolved to pursue the conversion of nitric oxide (NOx) to ammonia.

The Biobrick we will be synthesizing will be able to detect NOx with the norV promoter and convert it to ammonia by harnessing the nitrification and denitrification abilities of the nrfA protein.
